Where Toxins Hide in the Body and Home
We’re exposed to toxins in or on the body and at home constantly. Regardless of whether they’re naturally occurring or of the synthetic variety, you can take some simple steps to lower your toxin load and reduce your exposure.
What are Toxins?
Let’s talk about the difference between toxins and toxicants. Toxins are naturally produced poisonous substances occurring within living cells or organisms. Anything from certain mushrooms and mold to wasp stings is classified as a toxin. But many other potentially harmful substances, generally synthetic, are classified as toxicants. Most of the time, people tend to group toxins and toxicants together under the term toxins, and for the sake of simplicity we’ll do the same going forward.
Fortunately, you have alternatives to synthetic products with effective natural solutions that can soothe your skin, ease discomfort, support digestion, and more.
Where Are Toxins Found?
From household cleaners to ingredients in self-care products, toxins are so common in your home you may not have even realized they were there.
- Refrigerator: Pesticides can come into your home via nonorganic produce.
- Pantry: Plastic wrap, plastic water bottles, and plastic food containers are notorious phthalate leechers.
- Living room: A beautiful new carpet or couch can bring synthetic chemicals, influencing the air in your home.
- Shower: Many shampoos, body washes, and products used after shower time (like lotions, hair serums, sunscreens, and so on) contain phthalates and other harsh ingredients as well.
What Are the Effects of Toxins?
Why should we care that these toxins are seemingly everywhere in the body and in the home? What are the effects of toxins?
Many experts have found a link between toxin load and noteworthy negative effects. Yes, the body’s powerful, natural detoxifying processes help keep you safe, but your body can get overwhelmed and become less efficient at tackling toxins if your toxic load grows too heavy.
It’s inevitable that you come in contact with toxins every day. And your body naturally knows how to address toxins and deal with them properly, as long as your overall load is low and manageable. You can help your body do its job and help keep your toxic load lower by using natural products and living a healthy, natural lifestyle.
